2 Tasting Notes
The dried tea has a very strong perfume, and it can easily be overpowering if you smell it from too close. It took my quite a while to really appreciate the scent of the bergamot on the dried tea.
The citrus notes are somehow relatively more noticeable once the tea is brewed. The intensity of the bergamot is spot on, the base slightly pungent.
Preparation
This tea is 100% green tea that has been scented with jasmine blossoms. The scenting process was in all likelihood achieved by alternating layers of green tea with layers of jasmine blossoms on some sort of structure. In comparison, sometimes the tea and the jasmine blossoms are blended together, and you can see the jasmine buds in the end product (this is the processed used for “Jasmine with Flowers” from Tea Palace for instance).
Dragon Phoenix Pearls is a very pleasant tea, somewhat sweet and with a very distinctive and strong fragrance.
Flavors: Jasmine
